Video Cassette Recorder (or Player) Playback
1. Connect the VCR to the TX-850/830 as shown in the System
Connections diagram. Note that a playback only video unit has
no video or audio input jacks. Remember to switch the cores-
ponding VCR mode switch to MONO when using a monaural
VCR-2. Sf this is not done, sound will be heard from only one
speaker. If the MONO setting is used with a hi-fi (stereo) VCR,
even stereo sound will be heard in the monaural mode. Then
connect a monitor or TV having a video input jack to the
TX-850/830 video “MONITOR OUT” jack.
2. Press the VCR-2 Input Selector button [3].
3. Switch on the monitor TV, and start playback of the VCR. The
picture will be sent to the monitor TV and sound to the speakers
connected to the TX-850/830.
4. Refer to the video cassette recorder instruction manual for ad-
ditional information.

VCR-2.
2. Press the VCR-1/VDP Input Selector button [3].
3. Begin playback of the video disc player and recording of the
VCR-2.
4. The VCR-1/VDP to VCR-2 duplication is possibile when a
second VCR output are connected to the VCR-1/VDP jacks.
5. Refer to the video disc player and VCR instruction manuals for
additional information.
Direct function feature
NOTE:
This function works when an Onkyo cassette tape deck or CD
player with the fRI mark is connected to a TX-850/830 with
an {1 remote control cabie.
Just by directly operating the desired component (compact disc
player, or tape deck), the TX-850/830's input selector automatically
switches to that component. The component that was being used
stops, and the desired component starts operation. Therefore, it
is not necessary to switch the TX-850/830's input selector when
changing listening sources. Another way to switch listening sources
is to press the TX-850/830's input selector of the desired listening
source. The current listening source will then stop automatically
and the desired listening source will start operation.
Example 1
When the compact disc piayer’s play button is pressed, the
TX-850/830's input selector will switch automatically to “CD.” If
the current listening source was a tape deck, tape playback will stop
and the compact disc player will start playing.
Example 2 |
With a tape deck as the current listening source, if the TX-850/830's
input selector is switched to “CD,” the tape deck will stop playing
and the compact disc player will start playing.
Note:
| The direct function feature does not apply to turntable. |
Using the Remote Control Transmitter
@ Batteries
The remote control transmitter is powered by two batteries.
Before using this unit for the first time, insert the two-batteries
(included) as shown in the diagram. The remote contro! trans-
mitter has no on/off switch. Average battery life is one year.
This period may be shorter depending on the frequency of use
and environment (temperature and humidity) in which the re-
mote control transmitter is used. If the remote control transmitter
does not operate even though front panel controls function
normally, the batteries should be replaced. Use only batteries
listed in the following chart.

. Do not leave an expired battery in the case as it may leak or
damage the battery case.
. When inserting the batteries, be sure the (+) and (—) ends
are properly aligned.
. Do not use nickel-cadmium (rechargeable) batteries.
. Do not use one specified (manganese) battery and one al-
kaline battery at the same time.
. Replace both batteries at once; do not use one old and one
new battery together.
Transmitter Battery Replacement
® @
® Precautions
1. Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter is not going
to be used for a long time.
2. This unit uses infrared rays. Therefore, commands may not be
received properly if the front panel of the TX-850/830 is exposed
to bright light. To prevent this from occurring, place the
TX-850/830 so that it is not directly exposed to a bright light.
3. The batteries of the remote control transmitter must be replaced
periodically. Remember, however, that commands will be re-
ceived only when the main power switch of the TX-850/830
is on.
4. The transmitter operates up to a distance of about five meters
(16 feet). the transmitting window must always be pointed at
the reception window when a command is sent to the receiver.
5. If the TX-850/830 is placed inside an audio rack behind a glass
door, the door should not use colored glass or have any deco-
rations on it since this could shorten the range or prevent
commands from being received.
6. Use of other infrared remote control devices in the same room
may cause interference.
7. {If this remote control transmitter does not operate properly,
confirm that the batteries are not dead. If the problem persists,
contact your Onkyo service center.
